You can do things like that if you are doing southern beanfield type shooting, but I don't do that type of hunting
Most of all my shots are well under a hundred yards.
In fact my favorite hunting round is a 308 win, however some of my hunting is done in northern BC while grizzlies are still out and about
For this area I prefer more punch then what a 308 can give

It is not fun working in a setting which has become dependent on electronics and then lose them during an upgrade.

Don't be silly, you know time stands still around here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's how it felt in the ED!

There is an old addage that goes something like this:

Beware the one gun man, he probably knows how to use it.

To me that means you know the capabilities of the round AND YOURSELF.

Where I'm at, a 12 gauge will handle anything I wanted to pursue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Not trying to say anything along those lines.... just presenting my views for whatever they are worth ( probably very little) [/quote]
No offense taken
In my experience when people start talking about hitting targets over a mile away, they usually haven't hunted much

I was speaking purely to the mechanical accuracy potential of those weapon systems, not that I advocate a 1 mile shot with a .308.

Worst case scenario if she makes you sell them I will take em off of your hands for a nice discount.

Gotta sign of for now though guys, hope I didn't ruffle any feathers.

Exactly when I want a real challenge I bow hunt or use my traditional hawken style 50 call black powder rifle
If I want to limit myself to about 125 to 150 yards then I use one of my traditional lever actions
When hunting moose up north it is my 338 winmag otherwise it will be my 308 win, and to be honest my 308 sees a lot of duty up north because it packs so easily.
However I already have two 308's so if I buy a new rifle I want something different and in synthetic.
A 300 wsm is a lot cheaper to shoot than a 338, it will do anything a 308 will do and really doesn't give up much to the 338 winmag in terms of performance
Afterall bullet placement is important and shooting at a deer with a 458 winmag won't help if you can't hit anything with it

Doc4, UNFORTUNATELY no, except Dan is an Uncle again!
